Hi Brandon and Mike - I ended up picking up a 3br/3ba in Todos Santos (Pacific side of the Baja,~ 1hr north of Cabos San Lucas).

Some micro markets within the Pittsburgh region have exploded and some have flatlined.

real estate in the US is highly regional.. so no one can make predictions for all markets.. 

My primary concern is the fact that I'm investing in the Pacific Northwest which is somewhat hostile toward landlords and makes it difficult to do business, meaning there is a high level of regulatory risk in my region.I'm not sure exactly what asset class to focus on, I just heard the BP Podcast #416 with Matt Onofrio which got me really intrigued about industrial warehouses, and I've also watched a couple of youtubers who have had success with Self-storage, but I'm really just looking for books that others have found helpful for getting started in any non-multifamily CRE asset classes.I was really inspired by Matt's story and would like to start learning more about warehouse investing, I'm in Portland and we have an Ocean connected port, River barges, intercontinental railroad connections, an International airport and of course a large interstate highway intersection, so that sounds like a good place to start, but I don't know the first thing about this asset class.I get the things to be aware of for multifamily investing to forecast income and expenses and evaluate a deal, but I have a feeling Industrial is a whole different ball game, and I'm looking for resources to get started.Thanks,-Mike

I know it’s a huge state but I would like get a good sense in different regions, big cities and tourist destinations.

National and super regional banks typically only want to deal with owner-occupied mortgages, which requires personal ownership.You could change title after you take out the mortgage, and there is a good chance you will never get caught.  

Thanks again Local and regional commercial banks are one option.

@Crystal Thomas I can send you my regional director that I deal with at Lending Home if you want she has been great to work with.
